Focusrite Clarett 2PRE USB - bought secondhand 4pre. LOWER Price - *SOLD* £250 N O R W i C H ish

[Dood]

My very faithful and awesome Clarett 2Pre is up for sale. Since starting shooting review videos and doing recording from home I've needed more inputs. My original plan was to buy an OctoPre add-on for my 2Pre, but money has been really tight. I've managed to score a used second hand 4Pre for a reasonable price and sadly my as new 2Pre needs to go to pay for it. 

 

Ideally, I would love to keep it as it would go in my laptop bag for remote work, but I'm brassic.  

 

Very highly rated by trusted interface reviewer Julian Krause on YouTube

 

Full specifications below. 

 

Supports USB-C Bus power and frankly sounds superb. 

 

The new model seems to be coming in at £360 online, so £250 £225 seems reasonable for this? Shipping will be about £10 mainland UK, more for overseas.

Accolades and Reviews

MusicTech Choice Award 9/10

"The Clarett USB range certainly brings that high-quality sound to those lacking Thunderbolt connectivity and also brings low-latency recording and the Air feature too." - MusicTech Review

"In a marketplace that’s crowded with small format USB audio interfaces, this one stands out in a couple of ways. The electronics are first class, it’s easy to use and the results are excellent." - Ask Audio

Ok, let me refresh the price. I've just checked closed listings on eBay and the 2Pre Clarett USB (not to be confused with either the Thunderbolt or Clarett+ versions) seems to have sold for between £220-£275.

 

Here's my searches

 

So with that in mind, I'll drop mine down to £225, the lower end of the spectrum for my lovely 'chatters! (Plus shipping or collect) 

[Dood]

£200 plus shipping!!! I’m giving it away now 😇

[Dood]

£190 and I'll throw in the tracked mainland shipping. 

[Dood]

Excellent condition, looks like new! 

[Dood]

Throw me an offer for this and the Mackie HR monitors  I have for sale that I cant refuse. Seriously good set up for no money!!
